Yes, please: nvidia taints the kernel - so flame at your will - but this is a more general question regarding module loading:
If I load the nvidia kernel module like this:
% modprobe nvidia NVreg_Mobile=2 NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0
and start kdm afterwards, it works as in 2.4 -- I get a two screen setup with one screen on my laptop TFT and one on my external TFT screen.
If I use this /etc/modules.conf:
... snip ... ### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/nvidia-kernel alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia alias char-major-195 nvidia
### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/nvidia-kernel
### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/nvidia-options options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=2 NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0
### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/nvidia-options ... snap ...
the X11 will barf upon start -- but the module will be loaded. From Xfree.0.log:
